START-UP TIPS**************************************************
Most problems in getting started with a modem can be solved by
properly setting up the communications software. That's why
we've assembled these tips on using the most popular software
packages.
Look over this short introduction first. Then, if your software
is included in the following listing (packages are in alphabetical
order), review the tips provided. Next, follow the modem
installation instructions in the modem manual.
NOTE: If you have a problem with your software, you may need to
call your software company's technical support department. We've
included information for reaching each software company listed.
About Communications Software
1. Some operating parameters depend on how you have first
set your software:
+ The rate of the transmission over the modem/
computer serial port. Depending on your modem,
that rate can range from 110 bits per second (bps)
to as high as 38,400 bps.
+ The length of each character (called word length),
either 7 or 8 bits, and whether Even, Odd or no
parity is used. Most common are 7/Even and
8/None.
+ The number of Stop bits used, usually 1.
When the modem receives the AT characters from your computer, it
detects their speed, word length, parity and number of Stop bits,
and adopts those parameters.
NOTE: To exchange data successfully, two modems must also use
the same word length, parity, and number of Stop bits. You'll
have to find out what the modem at your call's destination
requires.
2. Terminal Mode. This is the computer mode that allows you
to directly command the modem. When possible, we've
provided instructions for entering Terminal Mode with a
particular software package.
3. Autoconfiguration. Some programs allow you to select and
automatically configure the correct USRobotics modem from
a menu. But it takes time for software companies to
catch up with new products. If you don't find your new
modem on the menu, try the following.
You have: Try this:
---------------------------------------------------------
Sportster 2400 Courier 2400 MNP/V42,
Courier HST
Sportster 9600 Courier V.32, Courier V.32 bis
or 14,400
If none of these options are available, put the computer
in Terminal Mode and send the modem the listed
configuration string.
4. Modem Configuration String. As an alternative to
autoconfiguration, or as a means of optimizing
performance, this string configures the modem. In some
cases, the configuration string also saves the settings
to non-volatile memory as a default. The configuration
string is based on the AT command set described in the
modem manual.
5. Data Rate Features. Most programs use the term baud to
mean rate in bits per second, as in 9600 baud. The term
autobaud means that the software and modem automatically
change their serial port rates to match the rate at which
the modems connect. Depending on your modem, the possible
range is from 110 bps to 14,400 bps.
In general, USRobotics modems connect at the highest
possible speed, depending on the remote modem's
capabilities.
USRobotics error-control modems (V.42/MNP) switch down
to connect over the phone line, but still can lock in a
higher rate at the serial port, for better overall
efficiency (&B1 setting). However, this requires that
the software's serial port rate also be locked, rather
than set for autobaud as explained above. We've listed
information on this feature for each program that supports
it.
6. Dialing Directories. Most programs allow you to save the
names, phone numbers, and the correct software or modem
parameters required for specific connections. Later,
when you select an entry in the directory, the software
automatically performs the necessary configuration and
dials the number for you.
About the Modem
1. DIP Switches. The first thing to do with your modem is
to set the 8 DIP switches (located either in the base or
back of the modem) according to your software
requirements. You'll find a simple illustration for each
program with the recommended switch positions.
2. High Performance. You'll get top-notch performance from
the modem if your communications software supports
hardware flow control (Request to Send/Clear to Send, or
RTS/CTS), and allows you to lock in the modem's serial
port rate. Check the listings for your software to see
if these features are available.
The AT commands &H1 and &R2 set the modem for hardware
flow control, and &B1 sets the modem to maintain a higher
rate at the serial port than the rate on the phone line.
If you can't use hardware flow control, you'll have to
use software flow controlΩcheck the modem manual later.
NOTE: The &R2 command requires the RS indicator on the
front panel of the modem to be on. Power on the modem
and start your software. If the RS indicator is off,
the modem isn't getting a Request to Send signal. If
we've listed the software as supporting RTS, either your
computer or terminal doesn't support RTS, or you may have
a problem with your cable.

Startup Tips
1. Insert the program disk and type INSTALL from the A:
prompt. As part of the full installation program, you
will be asked to verify your COM Port (make sure that
the serial port is the one to which your modem is
connected) and Port Speed (set to 19200 or as high as
your hardware permits).
2. You will also be asked to choose a modem type. Selecting
a USRobotics modem from the list does not start an
auto-configuration process of the modem or software
defaults. You will still need to enter a modem
configuration string in the phone book card you create
for a call. Therefore, you can select any USRobotics
modem at this time.
3. You are next prompted to load a new script (NEWCALL).
To perform such operations as creating dialing entries,
enabling Terminal Mode, and setting up for auto answer,
you must create "cards" in the program "phone book."
Select the option to "Enter information for a new card."
4. Define the parameters for the kind of entry you want to
create, such as phone number to dial, port speed and
script file.
5. Once the entry is created, press ALT-D to review the
Device options for the card. This is where you enter
the modem configuration string; make this AT&B1&H1&R2&W.
You can also enter strings for dialing prefix/suffix and
auto answer. Verify the COM port, and set the highest
serial port rate your hardware supports. Select hardware
flow control. You should also specify the word length,
parity and stop bit format that is compatible with the
system you will be calling.
6. Another option under Device, called Local, determines
whether the card represents an entry to be dialed
automatically (Local = OFF) or a Terminal Mode operation
where you must execute a dial string (Local = ON). Create
one card with Local ON so that you can put the computer
in Terminal Mode.
7. Press ALT-M to display all Alt key commands.
8. Press ALT-F10 to display a menu from which you can
execute a card in the phone book, or display it for
editing.
9. If you want to change the configuration after the
installation is complete, type CONFIG at the DOS prompt
or type DO CONFIG at the command prompt in Crosstalk.
To change your modem setup, select the option "Modem
configuration change only."
Terminal Mode
1. To put the computer in Terminal Mode, type the following
command from the Command Line: GO LOCAL.

Startup Tips
The software's Quick-Start Guide covers the easy-to-follow
installation program. Follow the prompts in PCINSTAL to load
files and modify CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Use the
autoconfigure feature to do initial configuration for specific
USRobotics modems. After you have installed the program, you
should make the following changes to assure optimal performance.
1. Before turning on the modem, set the modem's DIP switches
as shown on the previous page.
2. Type PCPLUS to start the program, and press any key to
put the computer in Terminal Mode. Press ALT-P to display
the Current Settings window. The line at the top of the
window shows you what values are currently set for the
default serial port rate, parity, data bits, stop bits
and serial port.
+ Be sure that you have set the highest serial port
rate possible for your computer. We recommend
setting the rate to at least 19200; if your
computer permits, select 38400.
+ The parity, data bits and stop bits may vary for
different calls that you make. For now, accept the
default format of no parity, eight data bits and 1
stop bit. You can always specify different data
formats later when you create entries in the Dialing
Directory.
+ Verify that the COM port displayed is the one to which
you have connected your modem.
Make any necessary changes in this window and then press
ALT-S to save the settings. The program will return to the
Terminal screen.
3. Press ALT-S to enter the Setup Utility. Select Modem Options
and then General Options. In this window, verify that "Auto
Baud Detect" is OFF and that "Send Init if CD High" is NO.
Then press ESC to return to the submenu.
4. Select Modem Commands. Verify that the initialization command
is set to ATZ^M. Press ESC twice to return to the Main Menu.
5. Select Terminal Options. In this window, make sure the
following parameters are set: Duplex=FULL, Soft Flow Ctrl=OFF,
Hard Flow Ctrl=ON. Press ESC to return to the Main Menu.
6. Select Save Setup Options and press Enter to save the settings,
then press ESC to return to Terminal Mode.
7. Type AT and press Enter. The modem should respond with an OK
result code. Type the Modem Configuration String specified
earlier, and press Enter. The modem will return an OK result
code.
8. Press ALT-X to exit the program and answer YES to Exit to DOS.
9. Type PCPLUS to restart the program, and press any key to put
the computer in Terminal Mode. Type AT and press Enter.
Check that the modem responds with an OK result code.
